He just sort of compelled me to shoot back." "I suppose you killed him," observed the jailer, pausing in his work of sharpening the pencil. "I ain't saying," replied Rathburn. "Anyways I had a hole-up down there for a few days, an' as luck would have it, I had to put up with a Mexican. All that Mex would do was argue that a knife was better than a gun.
He would have to hole-up somewhere in the hills before long and attend to that brand. As it was, it was a dead give-away as to his identity. He could thank Brown for this bit of information, anyway. With the dawn, Rathburn found it easier to keep on his man's trail without being seen himself.
"What a place to hole-up in! We could have hid here for a long time. Boys, I saw mountain sheep, the real old genuine Rocky Mountain bighorn. What do you think of that?" "I reckon it's a Yaqui hunting-ground," replied Lash. "That trail we hit must be hundreds of years old. It's worn deep and smooth in iron lava." "Well, all I got to say is Beldin' was shore right about the Indian.
Just the simple ones like 'double, 'wind, and 'hole-up, that every baby Bunny knows. But the chase was too close for doubling and winding, and he didn't know where the holes were. It was a straight race. The brier-rose, kind to all rabbits alike, did its best, but it was no use. The baying of the hound was fast and steady.
You'll believe any villainy of your old father, I suppose, just the same as you always used to. I've not had your opportunities, George. I'm not a fine gentleman on the trail with a parcel of English swells. I'm a poor old broken-down miner, who wants to hole-up somewhere, and get comfortable for his old age; and if you had a heart in your body, you'd lend a helping hand.
But I've also seen more than one rabbit lose his life in trying it." Rag early learnt what some rabbits never learn at all, that 'hole-up' is not such a fine ruse as it seems; it may be the certain safety of a wise rabbit, but soon or late is a sure death-trap to a fool. A young rabbit always thinks of it first, an old rabbit never tries it till all others fail.

He had not yet tried it, but he knew just how to play 'barb-wire, which is a new trick of the brilliant order; he had made a special study of 'sand, which burns up all scent, and was deeply versed in 'change-off, 'fence, and 'double' as well as 'hole-up, which is a trick requiring longer notice, and yet he never forgot that 'lie-low' is the beginning of all wisdom and 'brierbrush' the only trick that is always safe.
